Instructions

1. Make with your hands a small sphere for the head and a tall cone for the body and the dress.

2. Join the pieces together.

3. Add face details. Use a toothpick or other pointed tool, to shape the eyes and the mouth. Make a tiny sphere to add the nose.

4. Form with your hands two more spheres. Join them with the body to add the feet.

5. Make two cylinders and join them with the body to shape the hands.

6. A figure without hair seems really odd. So don't forget to add hair and maybe a large braid.

7. You can add more details, such as a hat, a hand bag, some buttons, pockets, anything that will make your lady look unique.
